A bit of culture and "THE" Balut ;)

Yesterday we had a pleasure to have a dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Dumancas’ place. They are local real estate developers and members of the BNeFIT organization. Their house was amazing; I do not think I have enough words to describe that! I really loved the architecture and the water elements inside the house. And of course food was also very very good. In the evening we had a change to hear their future plans for Bacolod; BPO Park that would include spaces for BPOs to establish their delivery centers, hotel, restaurants, ect. The pictures looked impressive!

On Monday we had a change to enjoy a bit culture; we attended to the City Birthday. Bacolod celebrated its’ 71st birthday with speeches, choir performances and award ceremonies. In the evening we enjoyed on the sun set in Ruins in Talisay City. See picture below.

A bit more on local food – would you taste this?

Baloot or baluut is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines. It is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.. Balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt, lemon juice, plus ground pepper and Vietnamese Coriander leaves (Southern Vietnamese style), though some balut-eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg. The eggs are savored for their balance of textures and flavors; the broth surrounding the embryo is sipped from the egg before the shell is peeled and the yolk and young chick inside can be eaten.
